Prospective Financier's Concerns 1. How are you going to make me rich? 2. When and how will I get my money back? 3. How will my money be used? 4. What will you do when you need more money? 5. Who are the people and partners around you who are going to make this successful?

• Seeking financing for a technology venture
• Developing a financial plan and forecast
• Valuating a company or its technology for investment, merger or acquisition
• Negotiating the closing of a financial transaction

• Secure financing in a timely manner
• Leverage equity investment with R&D tax credits, government programs and low cost debt
• Identify investors who are seeking to invest in your type of venture
• Develop a professional business plan, prospectus, presentation and offer that maximizes the value to prospective investors
• Conduct in-depth business and technical due diligence

Developing state-of-the-art technology is very costly. Commercialization and marketing costs can be considerably higher than R&D.

Part of the job of any technology entrepreneur is raising money. Without the necessary financing, technology ventures have a very difficult time succeeding. And even though there is more money available for technology investments than ever before, there are also a record number of firms competing for the funds.

To succeed in raising money entrepreneurs have to know their prospective investors and position their business plan to hit the investors' hot buttons. Even with the best new technology in the world, needed funding is in no way assured.
